COLUMBUS: The Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles has mailed out notices asking owners of more than 47,000 vehicles for proof that they're legal U.S. residents.
The move comes a month after The Columbus Dispatch reported that Ohio had allowed thousands of illegal immigrants to register cars and get license plates.
The letters warn that if the requested documentation isn't supplied by Dec. 8, the vehicle registrations will be canceled.
Joseph Mas, the chairman of the Ohio Hispanic Coalition, said he suspects the crackdown is targeting Latinos with ''undetermined immigration status.''
BMV spokeswoman Lindsay Komlanc denies the notices are focused on any specific population but says the goal is to make sure every vehicle registration is as reliable as possible.

At the rate we are going, pretty soon everyone will need a birth certificate to buy a gallon of gas.

Ok men we have 20,000,000 people in the US that are unregistered foregin nationals (known as illegals)and they are destroying us from within. So lets check vehicle registrations to see if we can track them down. This should be simple enough.
Hold on there Boss, I think this is racial profiling. Why? Well because we feel that you will be asking us to check on Latinos. Why would we do that? Well, because most llegals are mostly from Mexico and Central Mexico. Oh, well, ok. Put out an order to just check Canadian sounding names. Ok Boss, that's more like it. Good luck.

It can't really be that hard to find illegal immigrant Mexicans in Akron. Go down to El Rincon, Mariachi Coco's, Azteca and ask them to give you correct change for a dollar. Skip the vehicle registration check process all together.

Maybe some people are fine with Illegal Aliens (forgive me, I mean the "undocumented non-residents..need to be PC here!) running amok in the US but I am not.
I think the Latinos need to get the chip off of their shoulder. It is a fact that people from countries other than Latin America cross the border as well. When we have the next terrorist incident on our soil, I'll bet all of the gold in Ft Knox that the parties responsible came across the US/Mexican border.

I figure that anyone that is out of work or going to college will soon be heading for Mexico to find work there.

So, if they can locate the potential illegals by their negligence to repond shouldn't the next logical step be to send in the ICE officers to ship their hides back to wherever they belong?
Ship them out! let them go through the LEGAL process and do things properly.

Finally something intelligent out of Columbus.
People who came to this country illegally, and have remained here illegally, need to be treated like the criminals they are. Arrest them and send them home.

They should allow the illegals in, make them join the military for at least a year and then go to war with Mexico.

And how many of these people slip through our system
and are allowed to vote?
We can no longer trust absentee ballots,voter registration,driver licenses etc, etc,
But the sad part
Its in the design of our government to have this
happen,they have put the system in to do such things deliberately.
